1. Chansri, N., and Koomsap, P., “Sketch-based touchable modeling for sketch-physical prototype direct transformation,” (in preparation for journal submission)

2. Risdiyono, and Koomsap, P., “Product Attribute Analysis for Realization of Design by Customer Concept,” (in preparation for journal submission)

1.2 Design by Customer

Customer satisfaction has become a key element in business strategy and placed at the top of the priority list of almost every company. Customer satisfaction has strong connection with the availability of a product that is best fit with the need of customer. To serve this purpose, we are developing a research, called Design by Customer. The main concept of this research is to get customer involve early in the design stage of their products. Involving customers in the value creation of a product helps improve customer satisfaction, and reduces a risk of misinterpreting customer need. Nevertheless, achieving high customer satisfaction from individuals whose requirements are different is a challenge for manufacturer because customer involvement and delivery time seems to be on the different sides. Therefore, we are working on establishing the framework of Design by Customer, identifying its areas of application, and developing its supporting technologies.

1.3 Development of Rapid Prototyping Systems The research focuses on the development of inexpensive and innovative rapid prototyping systems. We are working on developing three new RP techniques: Selective Vacuum Manufacturing (SVM), Dual Platform Laminated Object Manufacturing (D-LOM), Waterjet-Based Laminated Object Manufacturing (W-LOM).

• SVM is a new RP technique that combines sand casting and powder sintering, two simple manufacturing processes, for constructing a prototype layer by layer. Two generations of an SVM machine have been constructed and we have received funding from Royal Thai Government (RTG) to improve it capability on making articles from natural rubber and biodegradable polylactide (PLA). We are currently pursuing its application in medical area.

• D-LOM is another new technique, extended from the existing LOM RP technique that has limited capability of fabricating object with cavity inside. The development of this RP technique has been funded by RTG and our industrial partner.

• For W-LOM, we have investigated the possibility of using low pressure waterjet, typically found for cleaning purpose, for RP application. With promising result, we are now starting constructing W-LOM machine for fabricating a prototype from rubber sheets.

Our research in this area is not limited to constructing machines. We also research on developing new algorithms and software for controlling and extending these machines’ performance.

1.4 Direct Integration of Reverse Engineering with Rapid Prototyping Reverse engineering (RE) has been used closely with rapid prototyping (RP) for fabricating one object from another, but all existing RE-RP integrations begin with the acquisition of the entire surface data of an object and then perform data reduction to avoid unnecessary difficulty in a subsequent surface reconstruction step. Selective Data Acquisition, our approach, is different from them. Data are acquired

Page 22: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

11/17

selectively and locally layer by layer according to the analysis of image processing algorithm that has been developed for recommending the scanning positions from the edge images of the object. Obtained data can be used directly to generate commands for RP fabrication process. Recently, structured light system (SLS) and projective transformation are integrated into this Selective Data Acquisition to strengthen the performance.

1.5 Direct Integration of Paper-Based Overtraced Freehand Sketch with Rapid Prototyping Freehand sketching on a paper is commonly found used in practice as it is a natural and intuitive communication channel for portraying ideas. However, the subsequent sketch-to-3D translation process makes a paper- based sketch less attractive as a designer is normally required to create a CAD model manually by himself due to a lack of technology support. To speed up the realization of an idea, a research called adaptive layered manufacturing from overtraced freehand sketch that enriched information obtained during sketching is reduced to a batch of data points representing those lines is being developed as an attempt to shorten steps from having a sketch drawing to obtaining a physical prototype.

1.6 Abrasive Water-Jet Machining for Rapid Manufacturing In this particular area, we are working on simplifying abrasive waterjet cutting process. G-code free control program has been developed to allow inexperience user to operate and to complete cutting any complicated contours, typically require several lines of G-codes, quickly with no difficulty. Various options, such as drawing on the screen and downloading image, are available for inputting cut pattern. In case of image input, new contour tracing algorithm has been developed that is capable of tracing a set of contours on an image that may appear as nested contours, interconnected contours, or their combination. Recently, the algorithm can also determine hierarchical relationships among all contours. We are now working on integrating our G-code free waterjet cutting system with design by customer concept to pursue research in ceramic tile applications (e.g., rapid manufacturing of decorated art tiles) as well as applying it in rapid prototyping.

1.7 Developing Automatic Flat screen Printing Machine This research is our collaboration with National Metal and Materials Technology Center (MTEC) to develop a prototype of an inexpensive automatic textile flat screen printing machine. In addition to regular screening process, this computer controlled machine will be equipped with automatic self- patterns alignment for multicolor screening purpose. The machine will recognize the orientation of patterns on the fabric placed by an operator, and will reorient the screen to realign properly the new pattern with those existing ones.

VII. Personal Statement The personal statement provides an opportunity to highlight aspects of the research, pedagogy, and service record that may not be obvious from the more objective parts of this document. It may also be used to point to aspects in the case that may require particular care in the evaluation process. It should be used to provide insight into the research record by discussing the significance of each scholarly piece of work and their connection to each other. It should also be used to discuss the overall teaching record and the steps taken to improve the quality of teaching in response to feedback. As a teacher, I try to deliver up-to-date knowledge to students, and to prepare them with appropriate skills for their future careers. All course materials are prepared and made available for them. Criteria for course evaluation are explained clearly in the first meeting. Typically, students are required to do individual assignment, group project, presentations in additional to two regular examinations. They are encouraged to participate in class, and help me

Page 27: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

16/17

evaluate each other on presentations. I explain clearly to students that the purpose of the courses is to provide them knowledge, and grade is by-product that reflects on their understanding in the subject. They all are evaluated based on their performance in class. Since I do not set the target for class GPAs; therefore, they maybe varied from class to class according to the ability and effort of the students in each class. Based on the reports on the evaluation of my courses (see the attached course evaluations), the opinions of the majority have been under the top two boxes (good and very good) in most categories. With these responses, I would say that my teaching performance is reasonable, and is well accepted by the students. However, there have been also some concerns regarding workload that may seem to be heavy for some students. I listened to their comments and took them into consideration to improve my teaching. In 2009, I attended an intensive program on Case Method and Participant-Centered Learning to gain more teaching experience, especially on case-based teaching. Since then, I have applied that experience in my classes as well as my training. To support this teaching approach, I started writing cases on Product Design and Development from my research and training experience. For research, I formed my research group, called A-CUBE (A3). It names after our three initial research areas: Adaptive Layered Manufacturing, Abrasive Waterjet Machining, and Automotive Technology. For Adaptive Layered Manufacturing, the research focuses on developing intelligent rapid prototyping (RP) systems that cover both hardware and software. For Abrasive Water-Jet Machining, the research focuses on simplifying man-machine interface. For Automotive Technology, the research focuses on developing technology for road safety. A-CUBE composes of my doctoral and Master students, and myself. In additional to regular meeting with each individual, we also have monthly group meeting that all members share their learning with others. Majority of our research works are original, especially in Adaptive Layered Manufacturing area. We started working on those ideas from scratch without support. Machines, algorithms, and software programs have been developed in house gradually. Three inexpensive and innovative RP techniques have been being developed with the intention to support industry in the region. We are also interested in applying them with environmental friendly materials such as natural rubber that is abundant in Southeast Asia and PLA. Furthermore, we are exploring the potential of using SVM in scaffold fabrication. Our RE-RP interface is different from other approaches. While others perform data reduction after acquiring cloud of points from an object, ours analyzes the complexity of the object before acquiring data which allows us to create commands directly for layer fabrication. For research on reconstruction from sketch, while other researchers focus on reconstruction a model from online sketching on a tablet PC or from non-overtraced sketch on a paper, we are working on reconstruction a model from an overtraced paper-based freehand sketch that we are all familiar with. Compatibility among our works allows us to integrate them and to explore more challenging task. Design by Customer is a product development concept that we are pursuing. To bring it into practice, we are working on establishing its framework, identifying application areas, and linking it with technologies developing in house. We have been able to draw funding from RTG and industry to support partially our research. With sufficient amount of the research progress, we are able to publish our works regularly at both conference and journal levels. Furthermore, A-CUBE’s research activities has already been recognized and reported in College and University Education and Research section of Wohlers Annual Report, an in-depth study on the developments and trends in additive manufacturing (AM) worldwide, for 2011 and 2012. Additional information of A-CUBE is available at http://www.faculty.ait.ac.th/pisut/A-Cube/index.html. Beside research and teaching, I have offered industry in house training on product design and development. Since 2007, eight trainings have been offered for five companies. More than four hundred audiences have attended lecture sessions, and more than one hundreds of them have practiced it with their products under my supervision. This, at certain extend, speaks about satisfaction that industry has on my training service. CERTIFICATION: I, the undersigned, certify that, to the best of my knowledge

and belief, these biodata correctly describe myself, my qualifications and my experience. I understand that any willful misstatement described herein may lead to my disqualification.

POLICY AND PROCEDURE STATEMENT Reference PA Issued By PRESIDENT

Section 1 Responsible Officer VPAA Serial No. 2-5 Date Issued 14 June 2006 Personnel Affairs No. of Pages 6 Date Revised

TITLE: FACULTY EVALUATION CRITERIA

I. PURPOSE

1. To set forth the evaluation criteria for faculty evaluation and the conditions and qualifications for appointment and promotion to the various ranks.

2. The evaluation process at AIT serves the purposes of advising the Institute on

the suitability of candidates for promotion and contract renewal and of providing feedback to the candidate on his/her performance in research, pedagogy, and service. The Institute uses the evaluation process to encourage and reward academic excellence and to rectify mediocrity and marginal contribution in a fair and constructive manner.

II. CONDITIONS AND QUALIFICATIONS FOR APPOINTMENT AND

PROMOTION A. Instructor

1. Minimum normal qualifications for appointment as an Instructor are a master degree and two years experience in the professional field of specialization or a bachelor degree and ten years work experience, with several years at a leadership or advanced technical level.

2. An Instructor is appointed to the faculty of the Institute in order to

participate in the educational and research programs of the Institute. An Instructor will be expected to teach general courses, including those in laboratories, to advise students and to serve as a member of master degree student program committees. An Instructor may not, however, serve as Chairperson of a student program committee.

B. Professorial Ranks

1. An earned doctoral degree from a reputable institution is required for all professorial ranks.

Page 30: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

PA-1-2-5: FACULTY EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Page 2/6

2. The three ranks can be thought of as a continuum of performance from potential to actual – potential at the Assistant Professor level to actual at the Professor level.

3. Assistant Professor

i. A member of faculty is appointed to the rank of Assistant Professor if there is promise of his/her development toward the rank of Associate Professor. A strong academic record should be present and there should be a clear indication that he/she has the aptitudes of a successful faculty member and will grow in stature and eventually qualify for the rank of Associate Professor. A candidate for this rank must show promise of successful research and scholarship. Publications resulting from his/her doctoral dissertation may be accepted as evidence of such promise.

ii. A faculty member may not serve more than eight years at the

rank of Assistant Professor. 4. Associate Professor

i. An Associate Professor should demonstrate mature and independent scholarship. Research and pedagogy should indicate creativity, significance and effectiveness. It should be emphasized that in all cases the candidate for promotion must have publications in internationally recognized refereed journals of high stature or have published one or more textbooks with a leading press. The required number of publications shall be a function of their quality and significance.

5. Professor

i. The rank of Professor at AIT is given only to those having made significant internationally recognized contributions in research, pedagogy, or their profession and who have demonstrated leadership in the Institute, their profession, or their field. Candidates to this rank must demonstrate that their research, pedagogical, or professional contributions have had a significant impact on the advancement of knowledge. Isolated contributions are not sufficient; rather candidates must show evidence of significant sustained contribution.

III. EVALUATION CRITERIA

1. Candidates for promotion and contract renewal are evaluated in the three broad areas of research, pedagogy, and service. To be considered for promotion, a faculty member must demonstrate competence and professional

Page 31: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

PA-1-2-5: FACULTY EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Page 3/6

accomplishments in all three areas and must excel in at least one of pedagogy, research, or service to the candidate’s profession.

2. In all three areas, AIT attaches great significance to the ability to co-operate.

This includes the capacity to work jointly with colleagues. In this regard, it is important for faculty members to be present on campus for a sufficient amount of time each week to allow for interaction with colleagues. A faculty member may also show ability to cooperate in interaction with the public and private sectors.

3. In addition, the financial well being of the Institute demands that each faculty

member contribute sufficiently to generation of revenue. This is primarily in the form of tuition from teaching and overhead from sponsored projects, including research, training, and consulting.

A. Research

In general, quality is more important than quantity, although there must be sufficient quantity to provide evidence of a significant level of scholarly productivity. Several factors serve as measures of the quality of a scholarly record. a) The impact of research can be measured by the number of citations to a

candidate’s published work. b) The quality of the journals in which the individual publishes can be

measured by the impact factors of the journals. For books the quality of the publisher is an important factor.

c) An important measure of the significance of research comes in the

form of comments from external evaluators who are internationally recognized scholars in the candidates’ field. External evaluators play a key role by providing a degree of objectivity, independent of any institutional, political, or financial factors, and expert assessment of the significance and impact of a faculty member’s work.

d) Outside funding of research from prestigious foundations and institutes

can be viewed as a significant part of the research record, depending on the relative size of the grant and the significance of the questions posed.

e) The composition of the portfolio of published works also matters. A

collection of good but unconnected articles may not produce the same sense of impact that a set of articles advancing a coherent line of scholarship would. It is not unprecedented, though, for faculty to shift scholarly areas of focus. The personal statement provided by the candidate is therefore a very important guide to the significance of each scholarly piece and their connection to each other.

Page 32: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

PA-1-2-5: FACULTY EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Page 4/6

f) Another issue is the connection of published work to the dissertation. Highly regarded articles from the dissertation do count, but not as much as highly regarded articles reflecting scholarship beyond the dissertation.

g) The scholarly record should provide clear evidence of independent

thinking and research. Thus, although many junior scholars continue to do some collaborative work with a former Ph.D. or postdoctoral advisor, it is important to establish a record of growing independence from former advisors.

h) Invitations to talk at other universities and prestigious events add to the

scholarly record but generally play a relatively minor role independent of other measures of the scholarly record.

i) AIT values the ability to collaborate, so coauthored articles are an

important factor. It is, however, necessary to identify the contributions of the candidate to these articles. A significant portion of the overall research record should include articles and works to which the candidate has made the primary conceptual contributions.

B. Pedagogy

Pedagogy includes teaching, student research supervision, pedagogical development, and publications of a pedagogical nature. The following factors are considered in evaluation of pedagogical performance:

a) Teaching effectiveness. In the area of teaching, the candidate should

demonstrate mastery of knowledge in the areas taught, competency in organization and presentation of course materials, conscientiousness and fairness in relationships with students, skill in instruction, and commitment to developing better approaches to teaching.

b) Teaching load. This includes the number of courses taught and their

enrollments. c) Student research. The number and quality of student research study

projects, theses, and dissertations supervised. d) Student course evaluations. At a minimum, candidates are expected to

have numeric scores above 3.0 on the typical 5-point scale. Special interest is placed on evaluations of the instructor’s contribution to the class, the overall quality of the class, and, especially, the amount students learned.

e) Peer teaching evaluations. It is best if the file includes peer reviews

from several different faculty colleagues. Especially in cases of

Page 33: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

PA-1-2-5: FACULTY EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Page 5/6

interdisciplinary courses, it may be useful to have peer reviews by faculty in different disciplines.

f) Courses co-taught with other instructors from either within or outside

AIT. g) Mentoring record. A very important part of our teaching

responsibilities takes place outside of any specific course. The advising of students is a significant contribution to the teaching mission of the Institute.

h) Initiation and participation in curriculum development (e.g. new

courses, new programs, flexible degree programs). i) Effectiveness in the development and use of innovative methods in

teaching. j) Publications of a pedagogical nature (e.g. textbooks, articles on

pedagogical techniques). k) Formal personal pedagogical development. This includes participation

in workshops and short courses on pedagogy. l) Personal statement. The personal statement should be used to explain

the overall teaching record and the steps taken to improve the quality of teaching in response to feedback.

C. Service

Communities thrive when all members contribute to the common good. Thus we expect that candidates will have been involved in the life of the Institute, of the local and regional community, and of their professional associations. a) Professional Service. Impact on and acceptance in the profession as

measured by dissemination in scholarly and professional journals. Leadership in policy and program development in professional organizations. Participation in organizational responses to policy, practice, or structural issues, which affect the field. Holding significant elective or appointed offices. Receipt of awards or citations for professional contributions. Organization of training courses, conferences, seminars, and workshops.

b) Community Service. Serving on program committees. Consulting

activities. Refereeing of journal articles, books, grant proposals, etc. Serving as external examiner.

c) Institute Service. Committee service. Administrative service.

Promotion and marketing.

PA-1-2-5: FACULTY EVALUATION GUIDELINES

Page 6/6

IV. CRITERIA FOR CONTRACT RENEWAL

Contract renewal requires a continued level of performance consistent with that required for promotion to the faculty member’s current rank. In addition, each faculty member is expected to have generated sufficient revenue over the previous contract period to at least equal his/her salary cost over that period. This includes revenue from teaching and overhead from sponsored projects, including research, training, and consulting.

Section 1 Responsible Officer VPAA

Personnel Affairs Serial No. 2-2 Date Issued 14 June 2006

No. of Pages 7 Date Revised 6 July 2011

TITLE: PROCEDURE FOR EVALUATION OF FACULTY

FOR PROMOTION

I. PURPOSE

To set forth the procedures for evaluation of faculty for promotion.

II. PROCEDURE

1. Twice per year the Faculty Evaluation Panel (FEP) (see PA-1-2-4 for the

panel’s Terms of Reference) issues a call for applications for promotion to all

faculty members.

2. The processing of each promotion case is initiated within the school in which

the faculty member holds his/her primary appointment. Faculty members

wishing to be considered for promotion must submit a letter and all required

documentation to the Dean, with a copy of the letter sent to the Vice President

for Academic Affairs (VPAA), within four weeks of the call for applications.

The Dean may nominate faculty members deemed qualified for promotion to

the VPAA. The nominated faculty member would still be responsible for all

required documentation.

3. All promotion cases within the school are handled by a standing School

Promotions Committee consisting of all faculty members holding the rank of

Professor with primary appointment in that school. The committee is chaired

by the Dean.

4. The faculty members of the evaluated faculty member’s thematic area

(including faculty members familiar with the academic contribution of the

evaluated faculty) are requested to provide their assessment of the candidate

and the Dean collects and summarizes the individual assessments for

presentation to the Promotions Committee.

5. The school conducts an assessment to determine whether the strengths of the

case warrant soliciting external evaluations. The School Promotions

Committee shall meet and issue a recommendation within four months after

receiving the complete required documentation from the faculty members

wishing to be considered for promotion. A positive recommendation requires

a positive vote from a simple majority of the committee members present.

Page 36: intranet.ait.ac.thintranet.ait.ac.th/promotion/Dr_Pisut_Koomsap... · • AT73.993 Selected Topic: Computer Control for Manufacturing (Jan) Number of students: 10 Average grade: 2.95

Page 2/7

i). Upon positive recommendation, the case, with all current

documentation, is transmitted to the VPAA in order to obtain external

evaluations. The School Promotions Committee is responsible for the

organization, accuracy and completeness of all materials submitted.

ii). Upon negative recommendation, the Dean communicates the result to

the candidate, along with specific recommendations that will help the

candidate progress towards promotion.

6. Upon receiving a positive recommendation from the School for promotion

cases to the rank of Professor, the VPAA will solicit written evaluations from

external experts. (See Section IV and Annex 1 below for specification of the

number of evaluations required and the content of the letter soliciting the

evaluations.)

7. Once all external letters of evaluation are received, the VPAA schedules the

cases for promotion to the rank of Professor to be considered at the next

available FEP meeting and informs the School Dean, as well as the School’s

representative for the case. Cases for promotion to the rank of Professor shall

be heard only by the FEP members holding the rank of Professor.

8. Upon receiving a positive recommendation from the School for cases for

promotion to the rank of Associate Professor, the VPAA schedules the case to

be considered at the next available FEP meeting and informs the School

Dean, as well as the School’s representative for the case.

9. At the hearing, the case is presented to the FEP by the chosen representative.

After a period of discussion with the representative, the FEP goes into closed

session, debates the merits of the case, and votes on the case. A case must

receive a positive vote from 2/3 of the committee members present and

eligible to vote on that case in order to pass. The FEP writes a summary of its

recommendation, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the case and

justifying its decision. In the case of a split vote, a report prepared by the

panel members holding a minority point of view may also be included. The

FEP shall issue a recommendation within two months after receiving the

School Promotions Committee’s recommendation.

i). In the case of a negative recommendation, the VPAA communicates

the result to the candidate along with specific recommendations that

will help the candidate progress towards promotion, with copies

furnished to the School Dean and the President.

ii). In the case of a positive recommnedation, the panel’s recommendation

along with all case documents are transmitted to the President for

his/her consideration, with a copy furnished to the School Dean.

10. In the case of negative action by the President, the VPAA and School Dean

are informed by the President’s Office. The President’s Office issues a letter

informing the candidate along with specific recommendations that will help

move the candidate closer to promotion.

11. In the case of positive action by the President for promotion to the rank of

Associate Professor, the President’s Office informs the VPAA and the School

Dean and issues a letter to the candidate.

12. In the case of positive action by the President for promotion to the rank of

Professor, the President’s decision along with all case documents are

transmitted to the Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees for their

consideration.

13. In the case of positive action by the Executive Committee, the President’s

Office informs the VPAA and the School Dean and issues a letter to the

candidate.

14. In the case of negative action by the Executive Committee, the VPAA and

School Dean are informed by the President’s Office. The President’s Office

sends a letter informing the candidate along with specific recommendations

that will help the candidate progress towards promotion.

III. COMMUNICATION WITH THE CANDIDATE AND CAMPUS COMMUNITY

1. In the case of negative recommendation or action at any point in the

promotion process, the Dean shall provide the candidate with a summary of

the institute and/or school decision and with specific recommendations that

will help move the faculty member closer to promotion. The

recommendations should point out areas of strength, identify areas requiring

further development, and recommend strategies for achieving the needed

improvement.

2. In the case of conclusive positive action on a promotion case, the candidate’s

curriculum vitae, as submitted for evaluation, shall be posted on the FEP web

page. CVs will be Internet-published, while the anonymous external

evaluations will be Intranet-published.

IV. EXTERNAL EVALUATION

1. External evaluations will not be solicited for Assistant Professors considered

for promotion to the rank of Associate Professor. (See Section V on Appeals

below.)

2. For promotion or appointment to the rank of Professor, letters from at least

five external evaluators are required.

3. The choice of external evaluators and all communication with them is the

responsibility of the VPAA.

4. The packet sent to the external evaluators should include the candidate’s

curriculum vitae in the standard format (see PA-1-2-6 Format for the

Annex 1

COVER LETTER TO EXTERNAL EVALUATORS

Dear Professor ________ :

Dr. _________ is being considered for promotion to professor in the _____ program in the

School of ____. The institute faculty evaluation panel seeks your confidential evaluation of

the materials Dr. __________ has submitted for consideration, and your conclusion as to

whether these materials establish a record of (a) research, scholarship, and professional

Please use these materials as the basis for your evaluation and conclusion. Please note that

this is a request for evaluation, not a request for endorsement or recommendation. As such,

the use of superlatives without analysis or mention of specific indicators that support such

assessments will not be helpful in our deliberations. We would particularly value your

assessment of the quality and originality of Dr. _____’s work and the impact it has had on the

field. A copy of our criteria for promotion is enclosed to aid you in your assessment.

In your response, we also ask that you indicate the nature and length of your acquaintance

with Dr. ________ .

For our reference we ask that you please provide us with a brief resume so that committee

members may become better acquainted with your own background.

External reviews are an integral and critical part of the review process for promotion at AIT.

We recognize the burden this request entails and sincerely thank you for your willingness to

undertake such a time-consuming task.

Sincerely,

Vice President for Academic Affairs
